Marca spent Monday writing silly stories about Chelsea forward Diego Costa being so unhappy in London that he'd do virtually anything to return to Atletico Madrid. That story sounded pretty flimsy, and unsurprisingly, Costa had some comments confirming as much following the match against Sydney FC:

Hopefully, this puts this particular story to bed, but with the Spanish press, you just never know. After all, they spent a good deal of last summer trying to convince the world that FC Barcelona were actually desperate to get their grubby little paws on Fernando Torres.
Regardless, it's good to see Costa confirming the obvious, that he's happy at a club that pays him handsomely to win lots of trophies, in front of fans who took to the player immediately.
